Simple, straightforward and low shipping rates for these giant shower heads.
Q. "How do I mount a "giant" shower head?"
A. Because the "giant" is so big and heavy (approximately 5 lbs.), the manufacturer recommends ceiling mount only.
Q. "How many nozzles (holes) does the "giant" shower head have?"
A. Approximately 162.
Q. "Does the showerhead I ordered swivel, or do I need an additional part for it to do so?"
A. It is rare for a showerhead not to have a swivel feature unless its position adjustment is in the shower arm or it is a "flat" model that is meant to be installed parallel to the floor. With the exception of those mentioned, some industrial models and most handshowers, standard-style showerheads generally come with a built-in swivel feature.
Q. "Can I make the "giant" shower head into a non water saver and what are the specifications?"
A. Many showerheads with flow restrictors - including the "Giant" - will/can leak or fail if the restrictor is removed; they are not designed to handle a higher flow. Also, Federal Law states that it is illegal to remove the flow restrictor from any shower head; doing so changes the federally-mandated limit of 2.5 gallons per minute to a higher flow rate. The "Giant" shower heads (described above) deliver 2.5 gallons per minute at 60 PSI. Again, 2.5 gallons per minute is the legal maximum for all shower heads manufactured and sold in the U.S. Please note: because the "giant" contains so many nozzles and is limited to a 2.5 gallon per minute flow rate, it produces a light spray. In other words, at 2.5 gallons per minute, this extremely large shower head will not give you a strong spray out of the nozzles; it will be more like a gentle rain. We believe that it is necessary to warn potential buyers that at 2.5 gpm this shower head might be "too" large and will not have a pressurized spray as most showerheads do. And, again, it is illegal to remove the flow restrictor to attempt to create a heavier flow. We cannot and will not recommend that anyone violate any federal energy conservation rules/laws. Should you purchase this shower head for use somewhere out of the United States and remove the restrictor to increase the flow, the showerhead may provide a more satisfactory spray, but may also cause damage to the head itself. This showerhead is manufactured for use with the built-in flow restrictor. Removing the restrictor can cause the head to leak at its seals. Removing the flow restrictor voids all warranties and renders the product non-returnable if you wish to return it or non-replaceable if it fails in any way during the warranty period.
